ENIGMATIC FESTIVAL OF
INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE :
The Sun Temple is the site of an annual festival of Indian classical dances
organized by the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat. The festival is held every
year in January for three days. The idea is to present classical dance forms in
an atmosphere they were originally presented in. |
|
| Resting on a knoll in the village of Modhera,
the ruins of the 11th century Sun Temple are an impressive sight. The outer
walls of the temple are covered with sculptures in which the figures of Lord
Surya, the sun god are prominent.

PERFECT BACKDROP :
The Sun Temple at Modhera is positioned in such a manner that the sun's first
rays illuminate the deity in the innermost sanctum through the main entrance.
The incredibly beautiful Sun Temple acts as the backdrop during the romantic
fete of classical dance. |
